Dear Shaded Viewers,
Yesterday I showed you my Reiki hero healer, today I want to show you the other angels that saved the day.
Mei Hui Liu, the designer behind the brand Victim and her assistant, Jin.
Mei Hui had sent Jin to me the other day with remedies, that was before my visit from Costas. He also was kind enough to go back to my lovely hotel and bring my bag over to Victim where I was spending my last day. Mei Hui took the best care of me and another beautiful assistant made sure that my tea cup and those of my friends, was always full..
Elaine , the designer behind the label Calliope and Mei Hui at the Rose Bakery in the Dover Street Market
I have to say that when I go to London my two favorite spots are the Wolsley and the Dover Street Market and I cannot go to the DSM without stopping for lunch or a tea and a carrot cake at the Rose Bakery. We have one in Paris as well.
I wanted to see my friends from USELESS and as luck would have it, their office was very close to Mei Hui’s shop on 33 Marshall Street near Carnaby Street.. Conrad also brought his friend Rowland over who happens to be studying landscape gardening and funnily enough a little while before they arrived, Mei Hui was showing me her courtyard and telling me how she wants to transform it into a garden and a little tea room just for friends. Now, I must re-contact Conrad to see if their friend could be interested in helping Mei Hui realize her dream. I am convinced that there are no accidents in life. Well, I don’t mean tripping , I mean you turn a corner and the person that you need or imagine walks right into your life.
Conrad Ventur, Publisher and Editor in Chief or USELESS and Adrien Pelletier, Art Director USELESS. I love their slogan…”Life is longer than you think…” Believe me, it is already a lot longer than I thought. USELESS provided excellent reading material for my train ride back to Paris.
Not only did Mei Hui take excellent care of me but she also prepared my dinner for my train ride home. One more angel is missing in this mix, my ex-student, the lovely Pamela Tabares was at the Gare du Nord to help me with my luggage.
This is what I dream to be doing…taken on my last day in New York by Miguel Villalobos, alas it is not possible as I have appointments this afternoon and a dinner tonight.
Later,
Diane
